dc.descriptionWe report on the discovery of the near-IR transient of the long-duration gamma-ray burst GRB 030528 and its underlying host galaxy. The near-IR transient was first observed in JHKs with SofI at the 3.6m ESO-NTT 16hrs after the burst and later observations revealed a fading Ks-band afterglow. The afterglow nature was confirmed by Chandra observations which found the source to be a fading X-ray emitter. The lack of an optical afterglow and the early faintness in the near-IR (Ks>18.5 mag) place GRB 030528 in a parameter space usually populated by dark bursts. We find the host to be an elongated blue galaxy.
